YouTube now has twice as long ad breaks
User habits change forcing YouTube to find new approaches to advertising. A research showed that it is not only the length of ads that matters to users but also the frequency of ad breaks, especially during long sessions. The fewer ad breaks there are, the better user metrics, including less abandonment of content and higher rates of ad viewing, are achieved. To respond to this, YouTube has launched ad pods–two ads shown one immediately after the other. If users watch these two ads, fewer ads will be shown to them later. Users are also able to skip these two ads and proceed directly to content. In this case, the frequency of ad breaks will not change.
